Races.
The principal feature of the third
days exhibit was the stock parade
which drew large crowd in the
morning
| THE PARADE.
At IL o'clock the cattle and
horses were in line and moved
slowly down the track. The horse
exhibit was not large but it was
very choice and showed what Ne
vada climate and feed could do for
thoroughbred stock. Mr.. Gates of
Dayton exhibited Pat Reddy, a two
year old stallion sired by Gibraltar,
that made old horsemen stare. 1t
was magnificent beast and $4,000
was refused for it at Reno. Theo.
Winters stallion, Jumbo and
Spconer's stallion were conspicuous
and there was also string of fine
brood mares and racing stock that
indicated the finest breeding.
The cattle were next in line.
Vail Bros. headed the line with 10
short horns, Galloways and Red
Polls, all thoroughbreds. Leland
Stanford's magnificent herd of Hol-
stems doomed up, headed by
2, 400 pound three-year-old, followed
by some COWS which weighed over
a ton apiece and a string of black
and white beauties whose udders
nearly touched the ground. They
look as if they might be tapped
anywhere and milk would flow.
They were followed by six Holsteins
belonging to the publisher of the
APPEAL, headed by Saratoga" In
this herd was half breed Holstein
owned by Frank Oliver which not
yet year old weighs over 700
pounds.
The four Orphans Home Hol-
stems followed, making a splendid
showing. Mex. came a string of
six Durhams entered by Lawrence
Fray of Genoa and the five beauti-
full Jerseys owned by Governor
Stevenson and M. Cohn's thorough
bred jackass with ears on two feet
long.
The parade astonished the Com
stockers who were on the ground,
and was voted splendid success.
THE BICYCLE RACE.
Owing to the sandy track it was
impossible to run a mile. and an
eighth of mile was selected, with
out using the handles. Will Davis,
Bob Davis and Clarence Parker
contested. Bob Davis won, Will
Davis second.
THE TINE RACE.
An impromptu 'tlme race" was
gotten up, and a purse of SIS
made for the winner. The nag
making a mile the nearest to five
minutes was to win. About twenty
entries were made, and soon a long
string OF vehicles of all descriptions
were jogging along. Most of the
fast trotters were also there.
The race was won by Sam Da-
Wis, his horses nose reaching the
wire in exactly five minutes to a
second. The horse making the
time was the APPEAL roam, whose
original cost was $50. His gait has
always been five minutes, and he
can be depended on to hit it Just to
the notch.
THE LADIES' RIDING.
Four ladies entered the race
Miss Winters, daughter of Thee.
Winters, of Washoe, (navy blue);
Miss Mcintosh, of Reno, (yeliow);
Miss Ida Vansicle, (black and gold),
and Miss Day, of Carson, (pink).
The riding was all first class.
Miss Day was handicapped by a
bad horse, which fell once, but she
kept her seat and got round of APP
plause. Miss Mcintosh showed the
pest control of her animal in wheel
ing. Miss Vansicle gave an exhi-
bition of her rearing and plunging
horse, and Miss Winters held her

As was noted in the be columns two

should be open TO the public
DR.. Aveling. the English Socialist, was
objected to by the Economics" as he
was what they called a pr 'fsssional agi-
tatOr.
1t will be remembered that at first
only local Socialists, or Springfield work
ingmen, were expected to take part in
the debate on the side of the people.
When Aveling was announced as one of
the debaters on the Sodialistic side there
was dissatisfaction mahifes ed by the
wealthy would-be dem9lishers Of Soci Al.

time for the debate. Al large and ex-

the debate was to have been held, but

The Springfield SocihlIs feel quite

talked-of debate, especih hllv as they were

is perfectly willing 10 discuss the labor
